Work is progressing with the first plots at the<br />
development, as well as the Sales and Marketing<br />
Suite and showhomes, which are due to be<br />
launched by the end of September. All roads in<br />
Phase 1 are fully installed and all service mains,<br />

LW/16/0057 – Land West of rookhurst<br />
House, Colwell Lane North – ‘Greenhill<br />
Grange’ Phase 2<br />
The Phase 2 planning application, which sought<br />
full planning permission for 113 new homes<br />
together with parking, amenity space and<br />
landscaping, went before Lewes District Council’s<br />
planning committee on 20 July 2016. The<br />
committee resolved to approve the application<br />
subject to the signing of a Section 106 legal<br />
agreement. As the site entrance is within Mid<br />
Sussex District, a separate planning application<br />
has been submitted to MSDC and this is due to<br />
go before the planning committee on 11 August.<br />
Subject to planning consent, Taylor Wimpey is<br />
anticipating starting work on Phase 2 in March<br />
2017. This phase of the development is being<br />
managed by Taylor Wimpey South Thames.<br />

LW/15/0607- Land east of Ditchling road –<br />
Appeal ref: APP/P1425/16/3145053<br />
The appeal for this application is to be heard<br />
over three days, commencing on Wednesday 14<br />
September 2016. Owing to a lack of available<br />
accommodation in and around Wivelsfield for<br />
these dates, the hearing will take place at the<br />
Jubilee Christian Centre, Mill Lane, Barcombe, BN8<br />
5TH, starting at 10am. Members of the public are<br />
permitted to attend. Lift shares may be available.<br />
Anyone interested in the progress of this appeal<br />
can go to the Planning Inspectorate’s website at<br />
https://acp.planninginspectorate.gov.uk and enter<br />
the last seven digits of the above reference into<br />
the ‘Search for a Case’ box to find out more.<br />
LW/15/0752 - Land Adjoining North<br />
Common road – ground works are well<br />
underway and work on the show homes near<br />
the top of the site has commenced. Cala Homes<br />
have been facing the challenges of clearing mud<br />
off the road during rainy spells, and damping<br />
down the dust when it has been dry. Having<br />
received complaints from immediate neighbours<br />
about the amount of dust, they have redoubled<br />
their efforts with the on-site bowsers.<br />
A number of queries have been received<br />
regarding the passage of construction traffic to<br />
this site. The route that has been agreed with<br />
East Sussex Highways and Sussex Police, is for<br />
construction vehicles entering the site to come<br />
from the east, across Chailey Common and those<br />
leaving the site to travel west through the village.<br />
Whilst it is recognised that this is not ideal, it has<br />
been deemed the ‘least worst’ option, in order to<br />
prevent heavy construction traffic passing on the<br />
confines of Chailey Common. Suppliers are also<br />
being told that deliveries should not be made<br />
between 8.30-9am and 3-3.30pm, to avoid school<br />
drop-off and pick-up times.
